The Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is celebrated on the first day of the first lunar month of the Chinese lunar calendar and traditionally lasts for 15 days.
Chinese New Year is celebrated with many customs and traditions. One of the most popular is the giving of red envelopes (hong bao) which symbolize luck and good fortune. Red lanterns, fireworks, and dragon and lion dances are also popular activities for the holiday. Families also gather for a large reunion dinner and traditionally exchange gifts.
It is also a time to honor one’s ancestors and to express appreciation for a year of good fortune. I have been visiting places here in china to see the culture and preparation for the festival. like @DeniGu said Chinese people hang lanterns during the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) to symbolize hope for a brighter future. Lanterns are often decorated with wishes for luck and fortune. They are also thought to ward off bad luck and evil spirits.
Pasting fu is an important tradition in the Chinese Spring Festival because it is believed that it will bring luck, fortune, and prosperity in the coming year. The fu character is usually written in red ink and pasted on the front door of a house or a business. It is believed that the character will ward off bad luck and attract good luck and fortune.
The Spring Festival Gala is an annual Chinese variety show celebrating the Chinese New Year that airs on CCTV on the eve of Chinese New Year. It typically features a blend of music, dance, comedy, and other performances. It is one of the most-watched television programs in China.

@NahidHossain Thanks for your words, Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year, is the most important holiday in the Chinese calendar. It typically falls sometime between late January and mid-February, depending on the lunar cycle. Chinese New Year is an important holiday in China and is celebrated with much festivity. It is a time for families to come together and share in a feast, setting off fireworks and exchanging gifts. Chinese New Year is also known as the Spring Festival and is a 15-day celebration that begins with the first new moon of the Lunar calendar and ends with the Lantern Festival.
During the Chinese Spring Festival, some of the traditional dishes served include dumplings (jiao zi), spring rolls (chun guan), fish, and desserts such as sweet rice balls (tang yuan).
Chinese lanterns are traditionally released during the Spring Festival (also known as Chinese New Year) as a way of celebrating the beginning of the New Year and the end of winter. Lanterns of all sizes and shapes are released into the night sky, creating a beautiful scene.
